With a title like that, you would be right to approach this World War Two romance with caution. Actually, you would be better avoiding it altogether and remembering that writer/director George Seaton made far better things. The film's publicity boasted of the sexual chemistry between stars William Holden and Deborah Kerr, but you would need a microscope to spot it. Kerr is a Red Cross worker in the Pacific searching for the grave of her late husband and trying to find out how he died. Holden is a gruff marine officer who thinks women have no business to be fussing around the killing fields. She wants to confide in him. He has less lofty desires. Enough already, you can guess the rest. In small roles you can spot impressionist Frank Gorshin, Claude Akins and (as Louie) Ross Bagdasarian (who was the pianist/composer in the flat over the way from James Stewart in Rear Window and who later created `The Chipmunks').
